In Sancti Spiritus, Cuba Marble Industry Develops

According to engineer Leonardo Valladares Pérez, director of the industry, in the near future local production of marble will be sufficient to substitute the transactions so far made with foreign providers.

Fomentos marble is very popular and experts consider the cream-color variety -only found in that territory- to be a best quality product since it allows the production of a-centimeter-thick blocks. Besides, the crystallization process is natural and needs just a few imported items for polishing.

Cariblanca marble bed, one of the five that exist in the country, is expected to be useful for at least have a century.
